Well, seemingly there are people who run old sid, and then only “apt update ; apt install plocate” -- which will pull in newer plocate but not liburing1 :-) But all that _must_ be supported as per Policy is upgrades from stable to stable, I believe? Not entirely sure how strict it is. It helps that liburing1 has never been in stable (only stable-bpo). > Otherwise I'll just package the new upstream release and request a > rebuild of reverse dependencies, and we could just ignore 0.7 as if > it never existed. :) Yes, a soname bump would certainly do the trick for unstable. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: https://www.sesse.net/
